GLP-1s and Skin Changes: Dryness, Elasticity Loss & What Helps

Table of Contents

GLP-1 medications have transformed the way many people approach weight loss, offering meaningful results for those who have struggled with traditional methods. But as your body changes, your skin often changes too, and that is something worth paying attention to.

Unwanted Skin Side Effects on GLP-1s

When weight shifts quickly, skin can sometimes experience several unwanted or surprising side effects:

  • Loss of firmness and volume
  • Loss of elasticity
  • Dryness or dullness

This does not mean anything is wrong — it is simply your body responding to a new normal. The key is supporting your skin so it can adapt in a healthy, balanced way while you continue your weight loss journey.

Why Skin Support Matters During Weight Loss

That is where medical aesthetics can play an important role during your GLP-1 treatments. Instead of treating skin concerns in isolation, the goal is to work alongside your overall health and wellness plan. At Colair, we take a comprehensive approach that focuses on both immediate improvements and long term skin quality.

Sculptra for Structure and Firmness

One of the most effective treatments for maintaining structure and firmness is Sculptra. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production over time. This helps restore natural firmness, improve skin texture, and create a smoother, more youthful appearance that evolves gradually and looks completely natural.

Collagen Boosting Treatments That Work Beneath the Surface

Beyond Sculptra, collagen boosting treatments such as microneedling, radiofrequency, or laser therapies can further support skin resilience. These services work at a deeper level to encourage renewal, improve tone, and enhance overall skin health as your body changes.

Nourishing Skin From the Inside Out

Hydration and nourishment from the inside out are also essential. Vitamin injections can help replenish key nutrients that support skin, energy levels, and overall wellness, making them a valuable complement to both aesthetic treatments and your weight loss plan.

Personalized Skincare for Your GLP-1 Journey

What matters most is that your skin care strategy is as personalized as your health journey. At Colair, we take the time to understand your goals, your timeline, and what side effects you may be experiencing from your GLP-1 medications so we can recommend the right combination of skin care treatments for you.

Your weight loss journey is about feeling better in your body, and your skin should reflect that confidence. With the right support, your complexion can look as strong, healthy, and radiant as you feel.

Your body is changing, and your skin deserves thoughtful support too. Schedule a consultation with us Colair and we’ll help you look as good as you feel!
